Abstract

Third-eye stereo analysis evaluation compares a virtual image, derived from results obtained by binocular stereo analysis, with a recorded image at the same pose. This technique is applied for evaluating stereo matchers on long (or continuous) stereo input sequences where no ground truth is available. The paper provides a critical and constructive discussion of this method. The paper also introduces data measures on input video sequences as an additional tool for analyzing issues of stereo matchers occurring for particular scenarios. The paper also reports on extensive experiments using two top-rated stereo matchers.
